Twitch is great for going live and reaching your audience. However, unless you modify your Twitch settings, your videos won't be saved by default after you end your broadcast. Thankfully, whether you want your past Twitch broadcasts to be available to your audience on Twitch or on other platforms, you can change your Twitch settings to save your videos. This will enable you to make those videos automatically available on your Twitch channel, and also make it possible for you to download your Twitch videos as MP4 files so you can save a copy and even upload them to other platforms. The only caveat is that your videos will only be saved for 14 days if you're a standard Twitch user before being removed. Alternatively, your videos will be saved for 60 days if you're a Twitch partner, or Turbo or Prime member.

Now let's walk through the steps to save your past Twitch streams and download them to your computer as an MP4 video file.

Step 1. Open a web browser and navigate to www.twitch.tv. Log into your account if you're not logged in by default. You'll land on your Twitch home screen.

Step 2. Click your profile icon at the top of the screen to open a drop-down menu, and then click "Creator Dashboard." Your Creator Dashboard screen will be displayed.

Step 3. Click "Settings" in the menu on the left to expand that option, and then click "Stream" in that menu. Your stream settings options will be shown on the right side of the stream.

Step 4. Scroll down to the VOD Settings section, and then click to toggle on "Store Past Broadcasts" if it isn't enabled already. As a reminder your videos will only be saved for 14 days if you're a standard Twitch user before being removed. Alternatively, your videos will be saved for 60 days if you're a Twitch partner, or Turbo or Prime member. You'll see additional options for whether you automatically publish your saved Twitch broadcasts, and whether you want to exclude any categories from being published automatically.

Step 5. Click to toggle off "Always Publish VODs" if you don't want your saved Twitch broadcasts to be published to your channel automatically after you're done broadcasting. Additionally, if you want to automatically publish some saved videos but not others, leave the "Always Publish VODs" option toggled on, but then enter the names of any categories you don't want to be published automatically in the field in the Exclude Categories section.

After you finish a Twitch recording you'll want to give Twitch a few hours to process your stream and get it posted to your channel. After you allow some time to pass, you can find and download your saved Twitch streams by doing the following.

Step 1. Navigate back to your Twitch Creator Dashboard.

Step 2. Click "Content" in the menu on the left side of the screen to expand it, and then click "Video Producer" in the expanded options. Your saved Twitch streams are displayed in the menu on the right side of the screen.

Step 3. Find the saved Twitch stream you want to download to your computer, and then click the vertical ellipses to the right of that video. A menu is displayed.

Step 4. Click "Download" in that menu. The Download text will change to say "Processing." After the video is finished processing, the Processing text will change back to Download and a Save As dialog box will be displayed on the screen.

Step 5. Choose where you want to download your saved Twitch stream to, and then click "Save." Your past Twitch broadcast will be downloaded to your computer as an MP4 video.
